BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The City of Otsego annually certifies the unpaid utility bill balances for accounts within the City that are 90
days delinquent, or delinquent as of June 9, 2020 to be specific.
Utility account holders, who have such delinquencies, were notified with a delinquent utility billing notice,
dated September 23, 2020. This notice outlined that if payment was not received by October 6, 2020, that
an additional $100.00 administrative charge would be charged to the account and that the account balance
would be presented to the City Council for assessment against their property.
Once the delinquent utility balance plus the administrative charge are approved via the attached
resolution, account holders have until November 23, 2020 to pay their assessments to the City. If payment
is not received by that date, the account balance plus administrative charge, and interest of 2.20% per
annum will be certified to the Wright County Auditor for collection with property taxes payable 2021.

delinquent balances as of June 9, 2020; and
WHEREAS, a special assessment roll, a copy of which is attached hereto and made part hereof by
reference, has been prepared by City staff, tabulating those properties where a delinquent public utility
account is to be assessed with the amount, including interest and service charges, to be assessed; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to proper notice duly given as required by law, the Council has met and heard and
passed upon all objections to the proposed assessments for delinquent utility service accounts.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OTSEGO, MINNESOTA:
